He needs to lose his speaker job. Our house Republicans need to vote for a different speaker next January.

The problem with that is that the leadership positions for the next house session are voted in by the lame duck Congress. That’s how Puddles got the gavel before the 2010 TP members were sworn in.

You didn’t really think they’d allow voters to upset the feed trough, did you?

No, the speaker is elected when the new session, with the new members, starts in January.

Remember, when the Democrats won in 2008, Pelosi was elected in January when the new members were there.
